On March 15, they opened a new account at the TD Bank at 55 Post Road and attempted to deposit a tax return check for $8,879, Darien police said. Two days later, they returned to the bank to ask why the account had been frozen, the report stated.

The tellers at the bank told police that they believed the information that was provided to open the account was fraudulent after realizing the woman's signature didn't match that on the identification, according to the report.
